Abstract
It is proven that linear oscillatory systems with hysteretic damping in the form of complex stiffness and/or complex elastic moduli satisfy the causality principle: the response of such a system to an arbitrary external force cannot appear earlier than the onset of the force. The proof, based on a rigorous solution to the problem of forced oscillations, is presented in detail for an oscillator with a complex stiffness, as well as in a brief explanation for a system with N mass. It is also shown that these systems are Lyapunov-unstable. A comparison is made to other linear hysteretic damping models.
